And the altar itself was not solid, but hollow, of boards, and empty within. 8 He made also the laver of brass, with the foot thereof, of the mirrors of the women that watched at the door of the tabernacle. 9 He made also the court, in the south side whereof were hangings of fine twisted linen of a hundred cubits, 10 Twenty pillars of brass with their sockets, the heads of the pillars, and the whole graving of the work, of silver. 11 In like manner at the north side the hangings, the pillars, and the sockets, and heads of the pillars, were of the same measure, and work, and metal. cording to the commandment of Moses, in the ceremonies of the Levites, by the hand of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest: 22 Which Beseleel the son of Uri the son of Hur, of the tribe of Juda, had made, as the Lord commanded by Moses, 23 Having for his companion Ooliab the son of Achisamech of the tribe of Dan: who also was an excellent artificer in wood, and worker in tapestry and embroidery in violet, purple, scarlet, and fine linen. 24 All the gold that was spent in the work of the sanctuary, and that was offered in gifts, was nine and twenty talents, and seven hundred and thirty sicles according to the standard of the sanctuary. 25 And it was offered by them that went to be numbered, from twenty years old and upwards, of six hundred and three thousand five hundred and fifty men able to bear arms. 26 There were moreover a hundred talents of silver, whereof were cast the sockets of the star of tuary, and of the entry where the veil hangeth. 27 A hundred sockets were made of a hundred talents, one talent being reckoned for every socket. 28 And of the thousand seven hundred and seventy five he made the heads of the pillars, which also he overlaid with silver. 29 And there were offered of brass also seventy two thousand talents, and four hundred sicles besides: 30 Of which were cast the sockets in the entry of the tabernacle of the testimony, and the altar of brass with the grate thereof, and all the vessels that belong to the use thereof, 31 And the sockets of the court as well round about as in the entry thereof, and the pins of the tabernacle and of the court round about. CHAP. XXXIX. All the ornaments of Aaron and his sons are made. And the whole work of the tabernacle is finished. AND he made, of violet and purple, scarlet and fine linen, the vestments for Aaron to wear when he ministered in the holy places, as the Lord commanded Moses. 2 So he made an ephod of gold, violet, and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine twisted linen, 3 With embroidered work: and he cut thin 12 But on that side that looketh to the west, plates of gold, and drew them small into threads, there were hangings of fifty cubits, ten pillars of that they might be twisted with the woof of the brass with their sockets, and the heads of the pil-foresaid colours: lars, and all the graving of the work, of silver. 13 Moreover towards the east he prepared hangings of fifty cubits: 14 Fifteen cubits of which were on one side with three pillars, and their sockets: 15 And on the other side (for between the two he made the entry of the tabernacle) there were hangings equally of fifteen cubits, and three pillars, and as many sockets. 16 All the hangings of the court were woven with twisted linen. 17 The sockets of the pillars were of brass, and 4 And two borders coupled one to the other in the top on either side, 5 And a girdle of the same colours, as the Lord had commanded Moses. 6 He prepared also two onyx stones, fast set and closed in gold, and graven, by the art of a lapidary, with the names of the children of Israel: 7 And he set them in the sides of the ephod for a memorial of the children of Israel, as the Lord had commanded Moses. 8 He made also a rational with embroidered work, according to the work of the ephod, of gold, violet, purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine twisted linen: 9 Four-square, double, of the measure of a span. 10 And he set four rows of precious stones in it. In the first row was a sardius, a topaz, an emerald; 11 In the second, a carbuncle, a sapphire, and a jasper; 12 In the third, a ligurius, an agate, and an amethyst; 13 In the fourth a chrysolite, an onyx, and a beryl, set and enclosed in gold by their rows. 14 And the twelve stones were engraved with the names of the twelve tribes of Israel, each one with its several name. 15 They made also in the rational little chains linked one to another of the purest gold, 16 And two hooks, and as many rings of gold. And they set the rings on either side of the rational, 17 On which rings the two golden chains should hang, which they put into the hooks that stood out in the corners of the ephod. 18 These both before and behind so answered one another, that the ephod and the rational were bound together, 19 Being fastened to the girdle and strongly coupled with rings, which a violet fillet joined, lest they should flag loose, and be moved one from the other, as the Lord commanded Moses. 20 They made also the tunic of the ephod all of violet, 21 And a hole for the head in the upper part at the middle, and a woven border round about the hole: 22 And beneath at the feet pomegranates of violet, purple, scarlet, and fine twisted linen: 23 And little bells of the purest gold, which they put between the pomegranates at the bottom of the tunic round about: 24 To wit, a bell of gold, and a pomegranate, wherewith the high-priest went adorned, when he discharged his ministry, as the Lord had commanded Moses. 25 They made also fine linen tunics with woven work for Aaron and his sons, 26 And mitres with their little crowns of fine linen, 27 And linen breeches of fine linen, 28 And a girdle of fine twisted linen, violet, purple, and scarlet twice dyed, of embroiderywork, as the Lord had commanded Moses. 29 They made also the plate of sacred veneration of the purest gold: and they wrote on it with the engraving of a lapidary: The Holy of the Lord: 30 And they fastened it to the mitre with a vi olet fillet, as the Lord had commanded Moses. 31 So all the work of the tabernacle, and of the roof of the testimony was finished: and the children of Israel did all things which the Lord had commanded Moses. 32 And they offered the tabernacle, and the roof, and the whole furniture, the rings, the boards, the bars, the pillars and their sockets; 33 The cover of rams' skins dyed red, and the other cover of violet skins; 34 The veil, the ark, the bars, the propitiatory; 35 The table with the vessels thereof, and the loaves of proposition; 36 The candlestick, the lamps, and the furniture of them with the oil; 37 The altar of gold, and the ointment, and the incense of spices; 38 And the hanging in the entry of the tabernacle; 39 The altar of brass, the grate, the bars, and all the vessels thereof; the laver with the foot thereof; the hangings of the court, and the pillars with their sockets; 40 The hanging in the entry of the court, and the little cords, and the pins thereof. Nothing was wanting of the vessels, that were commanded to be made for the ministry of the tabernacle, and for the roof of the covenant. 41 The vestments also, which the priests, to wit, Aaron and his sons, use in the sanctuary, 42 The children of Israel offered, as the Lord had commanded. 43 And when Moses saw all things finished, he blessed them. CHAP. XL. The tabernacle is commanded to be set up and anointed. God filleth it with his majesty. AND the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 2 The first month, the first day of the month, thou shalt set up the tabernacle of the testimony; 3 And shalt put the ark in it, and shalt let down the veil before it: 4 And thou shalt bring in the table, and set upon it the things that are commanded according to the rite. The candlestick shall stand with its lamps, 5 And the altar of gold whereon the incense is burnt, before the ark of the testimony. Thou shalt put the hanging in the entry of the tabernacle, 6 And before it the altar of holocaust: 7 The laver between the altar and the tabernacle: and thou shalt fill it with water. 8 And thou shalt encompass the court with hangings, and the entry thereof. 9 And thou shalt take the oil of unction, and anoint the tabernacle with its vessels, that they may be sanctified: 10 The altar of holocaust and all its vessels: 11 The laver with its foot: thou shalt consecrate all with the oil of unction, that they may be most holy. 12 And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, and having washed them with water, 13 Thou shalt put on them the holy vestments, that they may minister to me, and that the unction of them may prosper to an everlasting priesthood. 14 And Moses did all that the Lord had commanded. 15 So in the first month of the second year, the first day of the month, the tabernacle was set up. 16 And Moses reared it up, and placed the boards, and the sockets, and the bars, and set up the pillars, 17 And spread the roof over the tabernacle, putting over it a cover, as the Lord had commanded. 18 And he put the testimony in the ark, thrusting bars underneath, and the oracle above. 19 And when he had brought the ark into the tabernacle, he drew the veil before it, to fulfil the commandment of the Lord. 20 And he set the table in the tabernacle of the testimony at the north side without the veil, 21 Setting there in order the loaves of proposition, as the Lord had commanded Moses. 22 He set the candlestick also in the tabernacle of the testimony over-against the table on the south side, 23 Placing the lamps in order, according to the precept of the Lord." 24 He set also the altar of gold under the roof of the testimony over-against the veil, 25 And burnt upon it the incense of spices, as the Lord had commanded Moses. 26 And he put also the hanging in the entry of the tabernacle of the testimony, 27 And the altar of holocaust of the entry of the testimony, offering the holocaust, and the sacrifices upon it, as the Lord had commanded. 28 And he set the laver between the taberna 33 Neither could Moses go into the tabernacle of the covenant, the cloud covering all things, and the majesty of the Lord shining; for the cloud had covered all. 34 If at any time the cloud removed from the tabernacle, the children of Israel went forward by their troops: 35 If it hung over, they remained in the same place. 36 For the cloud of the Lord hung over the tabernacle by day, and a fire by night, in the sight of all the children of Israel throughout all their mansions. This book is called LEVITICUS, because it treats 9 The entrails and feet being washed with of the offices, ministries, rites, and ceremonies. water; and the priest shall burn them upon the of the priests and Levites.

Of holocausts, or burnt-offerings. 10 And if the offering be of the flocks, a holocaust of sheep or of goats, he shall offer a male without blemish: 11 And he shall immolate it at the side of the Ahim from the tabernacle of the testimony, altar that looketh to the north, before the Lord: saying: 2 Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: The man among you that shall offer to the Lord a sacrifice of the cattle, that is, offering victims of oxen and sheep, but the sons of Aaron shall pour the blood thereof upon the altar round about: 12 And they shall divide the joints, the head, and all that cleave to the liver: and shall lay them uron the wood, under which the fire is to be put: 3 If his offering be a holocaust, and of the 13 But the entrails and the feet they shall wash berd, he shall offer a male without blemish, at the with water. And the priest shall offer it all, and door of the testimony, to make the Lord favour-burn it all upon the altar for a holocaust, and most able to him: 4 And he shall put his hand upon the head of the victim: and it shall be acceptable, and help to its expiation. 5 And he shall immolate the calf before the Lord: and the priests the sons of Aaron shall offer the blood thereof, pouring it round about the altar, which is before the door of the tabernacle, 6 And when they have flayed the victim, they shall cut the joints into pieces, 7 And shall put fire on the altar, having before laid in order a pile of wood: 3 And they shall lay the parts that are cut out in order thereupon, to wit, the head, and all things that cleave to the liver, sweet savour to the Lord. 14 But if the oblation of a holocaust to the Lord be of birds, of turtles, or of young pigeons, 15 The priest shall offer it at the altar: and twisting back the neck, and breaking the place of the wound, he shall make the blood run down upon the brim of the altar. 16 But the crop of the throat, and the feathers he shall cast beside the altar at the east side, in the place where the ashes are wont to be poured out: 17 And he shall break the pinions thereof, and shall not cut, nor divide it with a knife, and shall burn it upon the altar, putting fire under the wood. It is a holocaust and oblation of most sweet savour to the Lord. CHAP. II. Of offerings of flour, and first-fruits.

By way of prayer and petition for grace and relief in all necessities. In the New Law we have but one sacrifice, viz. that of the body and blood of Christ: but this one sacrifice of the New Testament perfectly answers all these four ends: and both priest and people, as often as it is celebrated, ought to join in offering it up for these four ends. 4 But when thou offerest a sacrifice baked in the oven, of flour, to wit, loaves without leaven, tempered with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil: 5 If thy oblation be from the frying-pan, of flour tempered with oil, and without leaven, + Holy of holies, that is, most holy; as being dedicated to God, and set aside by his ordinance for the use of his priests. shalt pour oil upon it. 6 Thou shalt divide it into little pieces, and||victim: and it shall be slain in the entry of the tabernacle of testimony: and the sons of Aaron 7 And if the sacrifice be from the gridiron, shall pour the blood thereof round about upon the in like manner the flour shall be tempered with oil: 8 And when thou offerest it to the Lord, thou shalt deliver it to the hands of the priest. 9 And when he hath offered it, he shall take a memorial out of the sacrifice, and burn it upon the altar for a sweet savour to the Lord. 10 And whatsoever is left, shall be Aaron's. and his sons, holy of holies of the offerings of the Lord. 11 Every oblation that is offered to the Lord, shall be made without leaven; neither shall any leaven or honey* be burnt in the sacrifice to the Lord. 12 You shall offer only the first-fruits of them and gifts: but they shall not be put upon the altar, for a savour of sweetness. 13 Whatsoever sacrifice thou offerest, thou shalt season it with salt:† neither shalt thou take away the salt of the covenant of thy God from thy sacrifice. In all thy oblations thou shalt offer salt. 14 But if thou offer a gift of the first-fruits of thy corn to the Lord, of the ears yet green, thou shalt dry it at the fire, and break it small like meal: and so shalt thou offer thy first-fruits to the Lord, 15 Pouring oil upon it, and putting on frankincense, because it is the oblation of the Lord: 16 Whereof the priest shall burn for a memorial of the gift, part of the corn broken small, and of the oil, and all the frankincense. CHAP. III. Of peace-offerings. altar. 9 And they shall offer of the victim of peaceofferings a sacrifice to the Lord; the fat and the whole rump, 10 With the kidneys, and the fat that covereth the belly, and all the vitals, and both the little kidneys, with the fat that is about the flanks, and the caul of the liver with the little kidneys. 11 And the priest shall burn them upon the altar, for the food of the fire, and of the oblation of the Lord. 12 If his offering be a goat, and he offer it to the Lord, 13 He shall put his hand upon the head thereof; and shall immolate it in the entry of the tabernacle of the testimony. And the sons of Aaron shall pour the blood thereof round about upon the altar. 14 And they shall take of it for the food of the Lord's fire, the fat that covereth the belly, and that covereth all the vital parts: 15 The two little kidneys with the caul that is upon them which is by the flanks, and the fat of the liver with the little kidneys: 16 And the priest shall burn them upon the altar, for the food of the fire, and of a most sweet savour. All the fat shall be the Lord's, 17 By a perpetual law for your generations, and in all your habitations: neither blood nor fat§ shall you eat at all. A CHAP. IV. Of offerings for sins of ignorance. 2 Say to the children of Israel: The soul that sinneth through ignorance, and doeth any AND if his oblation be a sacrifice of peace- thing concerning any of the commandments of the offerings, and he will offer of the herd, whether male or female, he shall offer them without blemish before the Lord. 2 And he shall lay his hand upon the head of his victim, which shall be slain in the entry of the tabernacle of the testimony: and the sons of Aaron the priests shall pour the blood round about upon the altar. 3 And they shall offer of the sacrifice of peaceofferings, for an oblation to the Lord, the fat that covereth the entrails, and all the fat that is within. 4 The two kidneys with the fat wherewith the flanks are covered, and the caul of the liver with the two little kidneys. 5 And they shall burn them upon the altar, for a holocaust, putting fire under the wood; for an oblation of most sweet savour to the Lord. 6 But if his oblation, and the sacrifice of peaceoffering be of the flock, whether he offer male or female, they shall be without blemish. 7 If he offer a lamb before the Lord, 8 He shall put his hand upon the head of his * Without leaven or honey. No leaven nor honey was to be used in the sacrifice offered to God; to signify that we are to exclude from the pure worship of the gospel, all double-dealing and affection to carnal pleasures. Salt. In every sacrifice salt was to be used, which is an emblem of wisdom and discretion, without which none of our performances are agreeable to God. Peace-offerings. Peace, in the scripture language, signifies happiness, welfare or prosperity; in a word, all kind of blessings. Such sacrifices therefore as were offered either on occasion of blessings received, or to obtain new favours, were called pacific or peace-offerings. In these some part of the victim was consumed with fire on the altar of God: other parts were eaten by the priests, and by the persons for whom the sacrifice was offered. Lord, which he commanded not to be done: 3 If the priest that is anointed shall sin, making the people to offend, he shall offer to the Lord for his sin, a calf without blemish. 4 And he shall bring it to the door of the testimony before the Lord, and shall put his hand upon the head thereof; and shall sacrifice it to the Lord. 5 He shall take also of the blood of the calf, and carry it into the tabernacle of the testimony: 6 And having dipped his finger in the blood, he shall sprinkle with it seven times before the Lord, before the veil of the sanctuary. 7 And he shall put some of the same blood upon the horns of the altar of the sweet incense most acceptable to the Lord, which is in the tabernacle of the testimony. And he shall pour all the rest of the blood at the foot of the altar of holocaust in the entry of the tabernacle. 8 And he shall take off the fat of the calf for the sin-offering, as well that which covereth the entrails, as all the inwards: 9 The two little kidneys, and the caul that is upon them which is by the flanks, and the fat of the liver with the little kidneys, 10 As it is taken off from the calf of the sacrifice of peace-offerings: and he shall burn them upon the altar of holocaust. 11 But the skin and all the flesh, with the head and the feet and the bowels and the dung, 12 And the rest of the body, he shall carry forth § Fat. It is meant of the fat, which by the prescription of the law was to be offered on God's altar; not of the fat of meat, such as we commonly eat. Ignorance. To be ignorant of what we are bound to know is sinful: and for such culpable ignorance, these sacrifices prescribed in this and the following chapter, were appointed. The blood. As the figure of the blood of Christ shed for the remission of our sins, and carried by him into the sanctuary of heaven. without the camp into a clean place, where the for him and for his sin; and it shall be forgiven ashes are wont to be poured out: and he shall burn him. them upon a pile of wood: they shall be burnt in the place where the ashes are poured out. 13 And if all the multitude of Israel shall be ignorant, and through ignorance shall do that which is against the commandment of the Lord, 14 And afterwards shall understand their sin, they shall offer for their sin a calf, and shall bring it to the door of the tabernacle. 15 And the ancients of the people shall put their hands upon the head thereof before the Lord. And the calf being immolated in the sight of the Lord, 16 The priest that is anointed, shall carry of the blood into the tabernacle of the testimony, 17 And shall dip his finger in it, and sprinkle it seven times before the veil. 18 And he shall put of the same blood on the horns of the altar that is before the Lord, in the tabernacle of the testimony: and the rest of the blood he shall pour at the foot of the altar of holocaust, which is at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony. 19 And all the fat thereof he shall take off, and shall burn it upon the altar: 20 Doing so with this calf, as he did also with that before: and the priest praying for them, the Lord will be merciful unto them. 21 But the calf itself he shall carry forth without the camp, and shall burn it as he did the former calf: because it is for the sin of the multitude. 22 If a prince shall sin, and through ignorance do any one of the things that the law of the Lord forbiddeth, 23 And afterwards shall come to know his sin; he shall offer a buck-goat without blemish, a sacrifice to the Lord. 24 And he shall put his hand upon the head thereof: and when he hath immolated it in the place where the holocaust is wont to be slain before the Lord, because it is for sin, 25 The priest shall dip his finger in the blood of the victim for sin, touching therewith the horns of the altar of holocaust, and pouring out the rest at the foot thereof. 26 But the fat he shall burn upon it, as is wont to be done with the victims of peace-offerings: and the priest shall pray for him and for his sin; and it shall be forgiven him. 27 And if any one of the people of the land shall sin through ignorance, doing any of those things that by the law of the Lord are forbidden, and offending, 28 And shall come to know his sin, he shall offer a she-goat without blemish. 29 And he shall put his hand upon the head of the victim that is for sin, and shall immolate it in the place of the holocaust. 30 And the priest shall take of the blood with his finger, and shall touch the horns of the altar of holocaust, and shall pour out the rest at the foot thereof. CHAP. V. Of other sacrifices for sins. any one sin, and hear the voice of one swear ing, and is a witness either because he himself hath seen, or is privy to it; if he do not utter it, he shall bear his iniquity. 2 Whosoever toucheth any unclean thing, either that which has been killed by a beast, or died of itself, or any other creeping thing; and forgetteth his uncleanness, he is guilty, and hath offended: 3 And if he touch any thing of the uncleanness of man, according to any uncleanness wherewith he is wont to be defiled, and having forgotten it, come afterwards to know it, he shall be guilty of an offence. 4 The person that sweareth, and uttereth with his lips, that he would do either evil or good, and bindeth the same with an oath, and his word, and having forgotten it, afterwards understandeth his offence, 5 Let him do penance for his sin, 6 And offer of the flocks a ewe-lamb, or a she-goat, and the priest shall pray for him, and for his sin: 7 But if he be not able to offer a beast, let him offer two turtles, or two young pigeons to the Lord, one for sin, and the other for a holocaust. 8 And he shall give them to the priest; who shall offer the first for sin, and twist back the head of it to the little pinions, so that it stick to the neck, and be not altogether broken off. 9 And of its blood he shall sprinkle the side of the altar: and whatsoever is left, he shall let it drop at the bottom thereof; because it is for sin. 10 And the other he shall burn for a holocaust, as is wont to be done: and the priest shall pray for him, and for his sin: and it shall be forgiven him. 11 And if his hand be not able to offer two turtles, or two young pigeons, he shall offer for his sin the tenth part of an ephi of flour. He shall not put oil upon it, nor put any frankincense thereon, because it is for sin: 12 And he shall deliver it to the priest; who shall take a handful thereof, and shall burn it upon the altar for a memorial of him that offered it, 13 Praying for him and making atonement: but the part that is left, he himself shall have for a gift. 14 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 15 If any one shall sin through mistake, transgressing the ceremonies in those things that are sacrificed to the Lord, he shall offer for his offence a ram without blemish out of the flocks, that may be bought for two sicles, according to the weight of the sanctuary: 16 And he shall make good the damage itself which he hath done, and shall add the fifth part besides, delivering it to the priest, who shall pray for him, offering the ram, and it shall be forgiven him. 31 But taking off all the fat, as is wont to be 17 If any one sin through ignorance, and do taken away of the victims of peace-offerings, he one of those things which by the law of the Lord shall burn it upon the altar, for a sweet savour to are forbidden, and being guilty of sin, understand the Lord: and he shall pray for him; and it shall his iniquity, be forgiven him. 32 But it he offer of the flock a victim for his sin, to wit, a ewe without blemish; 33 He shall put his hand upon the head thereof, and shall immolate it in the place where the victims of holocausts are wont to be slain. 34 And the priest shall take of the blood thereof with his finger, and shall touch the horns of the altar of holocaust, and the rest he shall pour out at the foot thereof. 35 All the fat also he shall take off, as the fat of the ram that is offered for peace-offerings is wont 18 He shall offer of the flocks a ram without blemish to the priest, according to the measure, and estimation of the sin: and the priest shall pray for him, because he did it ignorantly; and it shall be forgiven him; 19 Because by mistake he trespassed against the Lord.
